I think Brey and the team have embraced the challenge. The ACC is in for a down year and at this stage Virginia appears to be the best team. This Irish team is proving they can compete in a variety of ways.
@ GT 1/10
NC 1/13
Lou 1/16
@ Clem 1/20
Going 2-2 vs these 4 would put us at 5-2 which means we only need to win 4 of 6 vs Virginia Tech, @ NCST, BC home and away, @Wake and Pitt. Lose all 4 and it's an uphill climb to get to .500 in the ACC which many consider the threshold to get into the tourney.
